If you need keg tappers other than the Sankey type, it is recommended that you purchase the
tappers you need from your beer distributor. Please keep the Sankey type keg tappers for
future use. The Sankey system is becoming more popular. It may be purchased from our Sales
Department at 718-893-3900.

REGULATOR and CO
2
CYLINDER
NOTE: Your CO
2
cylinder is shipped empty to avoid any possible accidents during
transportation. When you purchase the first keg of beer, have your beer distributor fill the
CO
2
cylinder. You must read and understand the following procedures for CO
2
cylinders
before installation:
1. Install the CO
2
gas line tube to the regulator by attaching one end of the red tube to the hose
connection on the CO
2
regulator.
2. Secure the tube by using one of the self-locking black plastic snap-on clamps.
3. Insert a special washer into the regulator-to-cylinder attachment nut.
4. Attach the CO
2
regulator to the CO
2
cylinder by screwing the regulator nut onto the cylinder
valve and tightening with an adjustable wrench.
5. Remove the bolt with the nut from the cylinder retainer. Using two screws, attach it inside
the unit on the left side of the back wall. Holes are pre-drilled and screws are included.
6. Slide the cylinder through the retainer and secure it with the bolt and the nut. Position the
cylinder this way so that you will be able to read the numbers on the gauges and easily
access the shut-off valve.
TAPPING THE KEGS
1. Make sure the shutoff valve on the CO
2
regulator is in a closed position. Connect the
pressure tubes to the nipples of the keg tappers (use hose clamps). Connect the beer tubes
from the draft arm to the keg tappers. (Fasten securely with washer and wing nut.)
2. Make sure the beer faucets and keg tappers are in a closed position, and then tap the kegs.
Open the keg tapper valves.
3. Make sure the kegs are properly tapped, then open the shutoff valve on the CO
2
regulator.
INSTALLING THE BEER KEGS INTO THE CABINET
1. Lean one keg on the front bottom edge of the cabinet.
2. Move the keg to an upright position, then slide it into the cabinet. (Use the stainless steel
floor to avoid damaging the unit).
3. Make sure the keg and beer tube do not touch the cold plate.
4. Repeat with the second keg.
5. The kegs and keg supports should be properly positioned in order for the door to remain
closed.
6. Release the air caught in the draft arm assembly by opening the beer faucet until foam
appears.
A NOTE ABOUT FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
If you decide to install your beer cooler in a freestanding position (rather than built-in) you will
need to order the SBC590 Kit, which includes a guard rail and a set of casters. Call our
Customer Help Line at 1-800-287-8799 weekdays between 8:30am and 5:00pm ET.
